Earn Double or Triple Southwest Points

Redeeming Southwest Points

You can redeem Southwest points on any Southwest or AirTran flight. The number of Southwest points you have to redeem depends on the advertised price. Wanna Get Away (the cheapest tickets) award flights cost 70 Southwest points per $1. So 1 Southwest point is worth ~1.43 cents towards Wanna Get Away tickets.

Emily and I fly almost exclusively on Southwest for our domestic flights, but you can also fly on Southwest to the Caribbean and from March 7, 2015 toCosta Rica.

Bottom Line

You can earn double or triple Southwest points on any Southwest flight through November 20, 2014.

You’ll earn the bonus Southwest points when you book your flights on the Southwest website between September 18, 2014, and November 20, 2014.

And you have to register by November 20, 2014.

@darius: was just targeted for 7500 bonus points via the rapid rewards dining program. The terms are as follows, this appears to be a targeted offer:

Dine 10 times at any Rapid Rewards DiningSM restaurant, bar, or club before November 10, 2014 (and complete a post-dine survey for each within 30 days of dining) and you can earn a spectacular 7,500 Rapid Rewards® Bonus Points! Each individual dine has to be $40.00 including tax and tip.

@diane: yes you are correct. In addition it should be noted that you will not earn points/bonus points if you book another person, purchase early bird, etc. Points and bonus points will only accrue on your ticket.

With that said, this month I will be at Universal Studios for Halloween Horror Nights with my son. I have the companion pass for him (thanks Darius!), but if I didnt I would have used points since the only way he could accrue points is to have his own southwest account which I don't think a minor can have (shrugs).

In short Diane, you can make a killing on points using a mix of options. Triple points for the flight, booking your room on rocket miles and designating southwest as ur preference, using the southwest credit card. Personally, I will accrue 25k miles this trip alone using rocketmiles, 3x points, and credit card so all in all its a pretty decent offer, and way to boost ur points account.

Sorry for leaving this as a comment on another post (didn't see where I could email this to you). Also, for those not targeted for this offer I suggest calling southwest rapid rewards. I was targeted for the triple miles offer,and my girlfriend received nothing. However, after she called they put her in for double miles. Hope this helps.
